Conformity Assessment According to TPED | Bureau veritas

The European Directive 2010/35/EU (Transportable Pressure Equipment Directive - TPED), lays down the relevant provisions for the placing on the market of transportable pressure equipment.

A group of 3 existing ordinances have been adapted for the TPED transposition into Swiss legislation:

• Ordinance on the placing on the market and market surveillance of dangerous goods containers (SR 930.111.4)
• Ordinance on the transport of dangerous goods by rail and cableway installation (SR 742.412)
• Ordinance on the transport of dangerous goods by road (SR 741.621)

We offer the necessary know-how and the legal requirements to assess transportable pressure equipment in accordance with the technical safety requirements in order to obtain approval in accordance with the Transportable Pressure Equipment Directive (PI marking).

This can include, for example, periodic testing, intermediate testing, extraordinary testing or reassessment of the conformity of transportable pressure receptacles.
